FWIW I don’t believe you are wrong. Most people advocating for/ fantasizing about violence have never experienced prolonged conflict. Sure, you’re hot shit the first day or two but even if the fighting stays a few hundred miles away, it becomes exhausting and sickening. Especially if you have a family to worry about.

All of this said, it is not the only reason to own a gun. Many own weapons for the purpose of self defense — whether that be from other people or wildlife. We own guns because we are afraid — justifiably or not.

He doesn’t even get the damned saying right either. He says “Where’s your moral bariometer?”. The piece of equipment he is attempting to name is a barometer, though most people would say moral compass. Pretty sure he thinks bariometer is another word for compass.

I know it shouldn’t matter that much but as an atheist, fuck him.
